Lawmakers in Oklahoma approved a bill Thursday that would make performing abortions a felony and revoke the medical licenses of any physician who assists in such a procedure.
This sweeping measure, which opponents described as unconstitutional and unprecedented, now heads to Gov. Mary Fallin (R). She will have five days to decide whether to sign the bill, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature, and her office did not immediately respond to a request Thursday about her plans.

As an initial note, I have to imagine that this law was passed specifically to be challenged and eventually brought to the Supreme Court in order to further re-visit and (in the eyes of those who passed this law) to further erode abortion rights. Hopefully the Governor vetoes the legislation and women never have to risk that threat.
As a side note, I have to wonder what Kentucy Daisy, one of the pioneers of women's rights and someone who became famous for her role in first settling, and then helping other women to settle, large tracts of territory in Oklahoma would have thought of her state if she were around today.
A sad day for Oklahoma.
Shameful, outrageous and unconstitutional. That law will never stand.

Good for Oklahoma for solving every problem in their state that they now have the time to pass bills that wouldn't survive two minutes on appeal. Their efficiency is a model for us all.

WASPs in Oklahoma right now
Yeah I'm sure no children go hungry in that state...
Are there any starving children in Colorado? Or New York City?
SCOTUS does not even need to hear the case. It will remain overturned based on the lower court ruling and of course the imbeciles who passed this will be remain just that.It will be overturned by the first Federal Court to hear any case brought before it. Followed all the way up the chain to SCOTUS which will not overrule Roe v. Wade.

This is GREAT news to hear. It SHOULD be against the law for women to kill their children. Great work Oklahoma
Damn this southern states legislators strike again. Next they need to make sure that you can't sell cakes to gays and transgenders can't use their choice of bathroom.
If States are allowed to nullify Federal law by legalizing marijuana, the Oklahoma can make abortion illegal, because there's no federal law making abortion legal.
